Chennai Trip Part 2

The next day brought us to Mahabalipuram @ Mamallapuram. I remember seeing this place in the movie "kalloori" and secretly adding it to my 'must-visit' list. That's a historical site and if i am not mistaken it hosts a lot Historical stories and monuments. We were climbing everywhere and clicking away everything that we saw.Mahabalipuram took a long time and there were so many tourists clicking away just like us. And we also visited the "Rathas".











On the way back we dropped by a crocodile sanctuary. There is nothing special about the place and we were there just to kill some time. At night. before dinner my brother wanted to bring us to the famous Central Railway Station. I can't believe it's situated in front of the "Koovam River". Such a sore to the sight. The auto stopped near the "Koovam River" and i almost puked. The stench was so strong but nobody was bothered and they were walking without slightest uneasiness. May be they are so used it that it didn't bother them. The Tamilnadu government surely need to do something to educate people about the importance of keeping their environment clean. The railway station was so crowded and i don't think i had seen such a mob before. The hustle and bustle of the station was quite interesting.

The next day, we just wanted to unwind. So we chose to go to the "Vandaloor Zoo" and it was such a terrible mistake. There was nothing special and personally i feel our Zoo is much more 'happening". We saw very few animals but we saw so many couples dating there ! What a place to go for date!  Then, we  i decided to go shopping. Shopping was first class! We walked along the Renganathan Street and it was such a bargain. I brought  2 bodyguards (dad and bro) who were holding our shopping bags and guarding us against the mob :)
The next 2 days i was busy shopping and checking my shopping list. And the last day i was busy  packing thrusting in everything that i bought. Thank God for the extra bags that we brought along, we managed to bring everything back to Malaysia. When we landed in Malaysia, dad looked super excited and i was so glad that i did not miss out anything in  my shopping list :)
